Software Development Internship 2027 Romania

About the Position

Software Development Internship 2027 Romania

Get a feel for life as a professional digital engineer, building real-world software.

Under the guidance of experienced developers, our interns form a team to create a commercial-grade application. This might be for a client, or it might be a pro bono project or it might be addressing a need within Softwire.

Recent examples include a skills-tracker for Potential Plus UK, and a website for Pungo to monitor the mental wellbeing of elderly people.

Around half our interns take up a permanent role with us after their studies. We no longer accept direct applications for our graduate developer role so, for most people, an internship is the best route into this role.

Locations and pay: Bucharest 9,000 RON/month

Dates and duration: late June – mid September 2027

Who can apply: Anyone looking for permanent work starting in 2027 or 2028 – there is no requirement to be an undergraduate. Students graduating in 2030 or later are not eligible.

When can I apply: Applications are now closed for 2026. We expect to open applications for 2027 in September. You can pre-register your interest below.

Responsibilities

• A passion for solving real-world challenges: First and foremost, you’ll get a buzz from building things that make a difference to businesses, people and society. We also want to see passion for coding – any experience you have is a bonus
• An articulate people-person: You’ll be interacting with a wide variety of individuals: some deeply techy, some from complex business domains, and others with low digital literacy. You’ll need to be comfortable understanding their needs and discussing potentially complicated technical ideas with all of them
• A positive, can-do team player: You love pushing the team to greater heights by helping colleagues out wherever you can. You always look to improve yourself and others. Your default answer to a question is ‘yes’, and you make big problems seem small

Requirements

• Coding experience: Some coding experience is required, even if it’s only a little. We recommend a minimum of around 25 hours or so before you take our online coding test.
• Passion for technology: A passion for solving real-world challenges and a love for coding.
• Communication skills: Ability to interact with a diverse group of individuals and explain technical concepts clearly.

Nice to Have

• Previous internship or project experience in software development.

About the Company

Our mission is to solve our customers’ business challenges using technology. This often demands creativity, tackling complex issues in intelligent ways, to help organisations streamline operations and ultimately better serve their customers and users.

We played an important role in the Moorfields Eye Hospital/DeepMind collaboration, which demonstrated how artificial intelligence could help doctors fast-track patients with serious eye diseases. We built the system that runs the BBC Live Events websites, sharing content from Glastonbury, the Reading and Leeds festivals, and the BBC Proms. We’ve been the long-term digital partner for David Lloyd Leisure, building its mobile app, booking system and numerous other capabilities. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Find out what else we’ve been involved with.

Of course, there’s more to Softwire than building software. We’re working hard to nurture a diverse, inclusive and supportive culture, where people love what they do and feel inspired by working with some of the best minds in the business. We also have a generous budget for a varied programme of staff events and activities, with employees, not management, deciding how the money is spent.

Put all of this together, and you’ll see why we have such high retention rates and why we’ve been the Best Companies to Work For over a decade, and won Best Large Company to Work For for the past two years.
